thatldown rts of governmt for 18 daysmocrats are demanding equal air time to the prs eech. ws wilcarry their respon response. paula reid is at the white house with what the president is expected to say. paula, good morning. >> good morning. in his address this evening, president trump will argue that the situation at the southern border is a humanitarian and security crisis that requires immediate action. he is demanding $5.7 billion to build his border wall. but democrats have already said they will not provide any funding for a wall and there appears to be no compromise in sight. so the president is considering whether to declare a national emergency, which could allow him to use military funds to construct the wall. the democrats have vowed to fight any attempts to bypass congress with legal challenges. they also allege if the president's past statements are any indication, his address tonight will be full of, quote, misinformation and malice. and all of this is happening as

800,000 federal workers face the possibility of missing their first paycheck this week. but the president will continue his public push for the wall when he visits the border on thursday. >> paula, thank you. vice president mike pence met with democratic negotiators over the weekend. major garrett spoke with the vice president earlier this morning. here is part of their conversation. >> mr. vice president, thank you for being with us. >> thank you, major. >> president trump declare a national emergency tonight in his address to the nation? >> when the president addresses the nation tonight, he'll be laying out the facts to the american people of what is a genuine humanitarian and security crisis at our southern border. major, as we sit here today, nearly 60,000 people over the past several months have attempted to come into our country illegally. for the first time, the predominant number are families and unaccompanied children and it simply is overwhelming the ability of our customs and

border patrol to deal with it. add to that human trafficking, the flow of narcotic, the apprehension in the last year of 17,000 individuals at our southern border with previous criminal histories and the american people will hear from the president tonight we have a crisis. we have to address it. the time has come for the democrats to come to the table and start knnegotiating not jus to end the partial government shutdown but to address the humanitarian and security crisis -- >> you understand al too well, mr. vice president, the idea of this national emergency, going around the appropriations process is something the president has suggested, the country's waiting to find out. has he made a determination? is he going to use tonight's bully pulpit to say that? >> the president was asked if it's something he's considering and he said it's something we're looking at. >> that's a few days ago. >> look, the fact is -- >> -- review at the white house -- >> the congress should do its job and come to the table.

we spent the entire weekend in this room with senior aides to the republican and democratic leadership on capitol hill. we listened carefully to what their priorities were. what the president put forward is reaffirmation of his determination to build a wall on the southern border. the president said it could be a steel barrier. recognizing -- >> is that -- >> i think there were many democrats in the leadership meetings who expressed concern about concrete. the president said we'll build a steel barrier. the president also listened carefully to their priorities about additional humanitarian and medical resources. additional technology for screening at all of our ports of entry. we've incorporated those reforms. including legal reforms. and the proposal we have on the table is the reflection of the president's priority to build a wall, to provide resources to customs, border patrol and immigrations and customs enforcement. our proposal also incorporates what we'reearing from the

democrats but the fact is what we heard over the course of this weekend is they're not even willing to negotiate until the president reopens the government. >> why won't he do that? >> the american people deserve better than that. they deserve the democrats to come back to the table, start negotiating and we believe we can resolve this with the legislative process. >> why do you have to put themselves together? why can't the rest of the government unaffected by dhs, department of homeland security funding, be funded and then deal with this issue separately? why must there be a partial government shutdown affecting all these agencies that have nothing to do with this underlying debate? >> really, for two reasons. number one is these are the bills that were remaining at the end of the year -- >> but you can separate that out. you did that when you were in the house. you know that. >> well -- right. the fact is, as we've also listened to democrats, they're calling for changes in our ability to accept applications for asylum at our embassies in

guatemala, el salvador and etill.as. rnge in ing is let's ethis on sn . he changes it' mhose ges. arhiton fo this in a matter of hours. if the democrats will come to the table and start negotiating in good faith. and the american people also deserve to know on the very first day of this partial government shutdown, the president sent me to capitol hill to make a good faith offer that would have avoided the shutdown altogether. now we're three weeks in. tonight, the american people -- the president will take his case directly to the american people. >> yes, three weeks in, i think a lot of people who are affected by this saying three weeks in, spe somebody do something. >> the question is whether it's a policy in search of an emergency. vice president pence told major

garrett the president will present facts but one of the facts he presented is 17,000 criminals have been april present he apprehended at the border. he's using figures in that interview that are not related to the case the president is going to make. the other point i would make is the president's talking about a humanitarian crisis. there's a situation. but the question is does the border wall solve that particular crisis? or would more funding for agents to process those people be the policy you want. so those are two of the hurdle also the president has to clear. the fact the vice president used numbers that have been fact checked by "the washington post" and others is a weakness in their case. >> why the democrats want to have a respond after the address so they can fact-check it in real time. >> or present their -- >> or present their side of the story. >> yes. >> we will have more of that interview in our next hour and talk with major garrett live at 8:00. all right. hundreds of thousands of federal employees who are without pay are beginning to feel the impact.

collectively, they're losing more than $1.4 billion a week. adriana diaz spoke to epa workers who are wondering how to pay their bills. she's outside the epa office in lenexa kansas just outside of kansas city. >> the nearly 500 federal employees at this epa office don't know when they're not getting paid. one woman told us she has $300 in her bank account. her family can't survive on her husband's salary alone. and they won't be able to pay their february bills. she spoke to us as a private citizen and a local union president. >> it's my child. it's my livelihood. it's how i put food on the table. >> reporter: when sarah waterson left work on new year's eve, she still had a job, but no sense of security. >> you have to go to your landlord and say, i don't know how i'll pay you. >> reporter: the former marine now works as an office manager for the epa in kansas. how does it feel for someone who

has a full-time job, works for the federal government, to go to their landlord and ask for -- i don't know what to call it. >> mercy? >> reporter: the mother of two is the family's primary breadwinner. she received her last paycheck at the end of december. have you started thinking about where you might save if this shutdown goes longer? >> we're trying to cut the grocery bill, shut down to the necessities. we don't live extravagantly so it's hard to cut out any bills. >> reporter: do your kids sense something is going on? >> absolutely. they want to know why there aren't certain foods in the house, why we can't go out to eat. >> reporter: the government provided sample letters last month that federal employees can show creditors, explaining why they're struggling to pay their bills. according to the real estate website zillow, unpaid federal workers will owe $438 million this month in mortgage and rent payments. do you think it's worth keeping

the government shutdown going on in order to potentially get funding for the border wall? >> i don't know that it's worth the livelihood of people. i don't know that anything would be worth that. >> reporter: the shutdown is affecting agencies across the u.s. but the three hardest hit are homeland security, the department of justice and the department of agriculture. some epa employees here say putting their projects on hold for too long could endanger the public. >> these are real people we're talking about. let's not forget that. cbs news will bring you president trump's oval office speech and the democrat's response tonight. jeff glor anchors our coverage. it starts at 6:00 pacific time right here on cbs. the u.s. and its ally turkey confrontation over the u.s. military presence in syria. national security adviser john bolton is cutting short his visit to turkey after being snubbed by its leader president

erdogan. he is angry over the slowdown of the u.s. troop pullout from syria. he said altering the withdrawal is a serious mistake. holly williams is inistanbul. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. there's confusion about when exactly the roughly 2,000 u.s. troops in syria are going to leave. that's unsettling for some of america's partners here in the middle east and it's infuriating turkey's president erdogan. president trump abruptly announced last month that the u.s. would pull its troops out of syria, saying isis had been defeated there. that assertion was widely contradicted and the announcement apparently led in part to the resignation of defense secretary james mattis. on sunday, national security adviser john bolton seemed to roll back president trump's withdrawal plan. on a visit to israel, bolton said u.s. troops would remain in syria until isis is defeated and until neighboring turkey guarantees it will not attack

america's kurdish p the ground. turkey's been critical of u.s. involvement in syria because it says america's kurdish allies are a terrorist organization and that's why turkey, anotherally,e any concessionings. >> one regional expert called erdogan's comments a big put down to the united states. holly williams, thank you. actor kevin spacey says allegations that he sect waxual assaulted a massachusetts teenage remember false. he pleaded not guilty to a single count of indecent assault and battery. he faces up to five years in prison if convicted. jericka duncan was in the courtroom for spacey's arraignment on nantucket. >> reporter: the 59-year-old's lawyers have begun to outline their defense. they say in new court filings that the interaction is mutual

flirtation. it appears the defense plans not only to attack the credibility of the alleged victim but his mother. >> indecent assault and battery -- >> reporter: a silent kevin spacey whose legal name is kevin fowler stood before a judge yesterday to face criminal charges for sexual assault. after spacey's lawyers entered a not guilty plea. >> you're required to stay away and have no contact, direct or indirect, with the alleged victim, all right? >> reporter: the assault allegedly took place in a crowded nantucket bar called the club car in july of 2016. the then 18-year-old bus boy told police spacey repeated lid gro groped him for about three minutes. investigators say the accuser captured part of the assault in a brief snapchat video, he also texted his girlfriend about it. spacey's lawyers argues those messages will prove the

encounter was consensual. >> likely exculpatory for mr. spacey. >> reporter: in court filing, they said the alleged victim misled spacey by claiming he was a 23-year-old college student and he joked about the incident with friends for months. former boston news anchor heather enruh is the accuser's mother. >> he did not report the crime at the time and that was largely because of embarrassment and fear. >> any comments? >> reporter: multiple men have accused spacey of sexual assault. spacey previously denied some of those claims. but they still might be used against him in this criminal case says cbs news legal analyst rikki klieman. >> any prosecutor would try to locate other accusers who have similar incidents with kevin spacey. what you need are witnesses who will say that what happened to them was so similar that it was a pattern. >> reporter: the alleged victim's attorney said in a

statement that his client decided to report the sexual asought because he wanted to encourage other potential victims to come forward. hours after spacey left the courthouse, he was pulled over for speeding in the d.c. area. the officer let him go with just a warning. >> all right, thank you so much. new research appears to show racial disparities and good tuesday morning. we start off with a few sprinkles. on the high def doppler you can see showers making their way on shore and strengthening during the afternoon. a cloudy start to the day before the wind and rain wraps up later today for the evening commute. we have wind and rain today with showers tomorrow, a break on thursday before rain again.

vantage point negotiating in bad faith because the vice president kept saying we're offering things in good faith. so i turned it around. are democrats negotiating i bad faith? he said, no, they just aren't negotiating at all. but when i asked about that $5.7 billion number, it's clear that's not ay in gloeshiable number. they're not willing to discuss it in that context and it's still a down payment meaning there's still money this administration would seek in future years for more steel barrier or some kind of wall on the southern border. that's not going to sit well with democrats. that doesn't appear to be an opening to resolve this. >> you tried to get him to answer the question. is the president going to declare a national emergency? he would not answer that question. on one hand he says this is a national emergency. on the other hand he says this could take a year. why would a president want anything to take a year if he thinks it's a national emergency? what do you think he's going -- what audience is he trying to reach tonight? >> i asked the vice president that. are you trying to get -- hold wavering republicans in congress, persuade entrenched

♪ new research suggests americans may be overdiagnosing

themselves for food allergies. a stood published friday in jamma network estimated 19% of adults think they have food allergies but less than 11% actually do. researchers say allergy testing is crucial for those who may need to protect themselves by avoiding certain foods and getting prescriptions for epipens. dr. tania elliott, good morning. so why is it that some people think they have a food allergy when they really don't? >> this comes down to terminology and the way we're using the word allergy. most people when they say they have an allergy, it's likely an intolerance. so they have a headache. they don't feel well. they get bloated, stomach discomfort, right? so they avoid it and they say oh, i have an allergy to that because that's food that i don't eat, but in reality, an allergic reaction is a life-threatening reaction. they are very different. >> let's talk about that. what are the signs of a true

food allergy? >> 90% of the time you'll have skin symptoms. hives, swelling, itching, redness, all caused by a chemical called histamine which is what is released from allergy cells when an allergic reaction occurs. >> and a real allergic reaction say serious one, not to be taken lightly. >> absolutely. life threatening. >> what's the difference between a food allergy and intolerance and why does that difference matter? >> right. so the real key is that an intolerance is not life threatening and is dose depende dependent. the more you eat something that your body is intolerable to, the worse you feel. with an allergy, it can be a trace amount that can trigger a life-threatening reaction. >> what should you do if you think you have a food allergy? >> so make sure that you see an allergy specialist. make sure it's an allergist. they go through a number of years of training to hone in on

the exact allergy that you have. and then educate you on accidental ingestions. so you are going to a restaurant. you may ingest something. talk with the chefs there and that they know you have a food allergy. and the other piece is treatment. >> it's the responsible thing to distinguish those. i had a birthday party, and i didn't -- no parents mentioned allergies and i served brownies that had reese's peanut butter chips in them. and after, the girl said to me, is there peanut butter in here, i'm allergic. i nearly had a heart attack. i was so nervous about it and it turns out the girl was not allergic. she has a sensitivity. and i think that's what the issue in terms of being clear about what you -- whether you're allergic or have a sensitivity. it matters. >> formalize the diagnosis with an allergist. differentiate those two. >> why are allergies on the rise? >> overall, increasing a lot of

it has to do with the hygiene hypothesis. we may be too clean and our immune stuystems are not learni how to properly develop. >> thank you. just as a nebraska man's family was preparing to say a good-bye, his health took a miraculous turn. his inspiring message to others facing illness. plus, at the world's largest consumer electronics show in las vegas. we'll check out the very latest products including a new way to keep your package delivery safe. you're watching "cbs this morning." saving you time, so you can keep saving the world. >> kids: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace ♪
